Kill Or Run ?

[Tyla 3,179]

I don't think anyone is saying they don't want to kill what they run, just that its not the be all and end all of it. If it was all about killing rabbits we would all be out with a .22 and night vision wouldn't we?

Deffinitely a good question thT made me feel like I aren't the only one that releases the odd unscathed animal as for me it's about the chase obviously as said above you want thedog to catch! I

I would like my dog to catch everything he runs , just don't happen that way , pure love the chase, but its the kills that count in all honesty, that's the reason we put all the effort into them, to try make best killer

love the anticipation of what the day out with the dogs will bring as much as anything else .its not all about the catch .saying that wouldn't never keep a dog that couldn't catch what its chasing. but its the course as its happening no matter what the quarry is that sets the juices running ,the kill if it happens is a by product of the course /hunt call it what you will but I would say the percentage of dog men and women that enjoy the kill more than the chase is a very small minority imo.

if proof were needed that more people enjoy the course chase hunt than the kill look no further than the waterloo cup thousands went every year until the ban and not many ever killed there but brilliant day out and great craic with likeminded dog folk .
